3. COURSE CONTENTS
| Design of Chemical Plants II aims at utilizing the core knowledge of chemical engineering in a combinatory fashion and imagination to present complete solutions, both from the technical and economic point of views in subjects related to designing new chemical plants and the investments involved. The course includes subjects such as process diagrams, material and energy balances, knowledge in designing and optimizing chemical reactors and separation processes, mathematical models, technical and economic optimization and technoeconomical approaches. The main objective is for the student to be able to respond successfully to the challenges of designing chemical industrial plants. The main aspects of the theory of the course is taught in the course Design of Chemical Plants I. Design of Chemical Plants II is the practical application of the theory in designing a chemical industry. For this reason the students are divided into groups. |

| ASSESSMENT METHODS | The course is taught in Greek. The students ar examined in three basic stages. 1) By their overall performance and attendance during the semester, 2) with a mid-term exam where they have to successfully present their progress in the technoeconomic study and by giving a presentation of their technoeconomic study where they have to present a complete technoeconomic study and defend it on a personal and group level during an oral exam, 3) finalization of a complete technoeconomic study. |
